There’s not much about political strategy and platform that I’d agree with David Plouffe about, but he’s right: Obamacare is not the problem. The problem is the Democrats perennial cowardice, their 24/7 capitulation reflex. Yes, it’s nice that Harry Reid has finally remembered that he was once a boxer. But if the Democrats cannot defend their signal legislative achievement under Obama–something that actually gives taxpayers something for their money besides a trillion-plus in military subsidy–it really is time for major in-service training.
